The federal government’s ‘people-centric programme’ under the Implementation Coordination Unit (ICU) in Selangor came under fire in the House today when Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim alleged it a conspiracy to topple the Pakistan Rakyat-led state.
Echoing the allegation which was raised in the state assembly last Friday, Anwar claimed the federal government has resorted to ‘gutter politics’ by abusing the RM52 million programme implemented under the prime minister’s department.
In his speech at the committee stage debate of the Supplementary Supply Bill, Anwar revealed that the programme objectives included ‘strengthening people’s positive perception towards the federal government’ and ‘restricting the people’s support only to the federal government’.
...
What was most shocking , added Anwar, was that committee members in the ICU included representatives of an independent body, the Election Commission (EC).
"Why does the EC need to be in the committee? To strengthen BN and topple the Pakatan government? This is a very serious matter under Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s (right) administration," said Anwar.
This allegation however was slammed by Mohamed Aziz (Sri Gading BN) who said the EC could have an important role in the committee without necessarily supporting the federal government.
"If the EC is not clean, five states would not have fallen into the hands of Pakatan and Permatang Pauh (Anwar) could have lost during the by-election," he said.

The rakyat is not stupid. The rakyat knows that the fall of Perak is the doing of Umno-BN. Even Tun Dr M, now an ordinary citizen, said that the Perak power grab was unlawful.
Also, if the EC was 100% clean, the Umno-BN government would have fallen flat, never to rise again!
